System Updates

Version 2.8.0

2.8.0 is a feature release that adds some new functionality and addresses a number of issues within the Core by Premier Software and College by Premier Software applications.

New Features

Within Online by Premier, the “Enforce Payments” option has been added for Packages, Group Activities and Facility appointments.

MONEK Payments

You now can make MONEK payments via Online, following the introduction of the same method within Core in the 2.6.0 release. This is enabled within the “Gateway Setup” section within the Configuration Portal (Online Configuration Portal > Payment Gateway > Gateway Setup).

Remember to press the “Save Changes” button which will then show you the gateway settings:

Here, enter your Merchant ID, select your Country and Currency Code, and – if required – enter your Three DS Password. Save the changes and you are ready to take payments!
